Ex-Midland Railway 2F 0-6-0 No 3704 is seen about to depart
Kenilworth on an up local passenger service to Leamington on 28 August 1936.
Built by Sharp Stewart circa 1901 this class of locomotives were well regarded
by Midland men even if their LNWR colleagues were less enamored. This
locomotive would have undoubtedly have been withdrawn earlier than 1946 when it
was retired from Stafford shed to be scrapped at Crewe works shortly afterwards
if the Second World War had not intervened. This was because the railway
companies had to divert their production facilities to aid the war effort
instead of building new locomotives.
